    Hi Darren, sorry I can't help you, but I'm sure someone here may have more knowledge about ablation. Difficulty in breathing must feel very uncomfortable. Maybe you could ring the hospital and ask to speak to the consultant, or your GP.

      Thank you , I have looked at forum I found and it seems a lot of ppl suffer the same side affects and these can last up to 10 weeks in some cases , I must say it put my mind at rest has a lot of these patients thought they where having a heart attack ! I'm bit surprised the information is not available in the side effects. I'm just happy I'm one of the ones that found the info . Thank you x
